"You bring all of you with you all of the time" - this quote from one of my early professors has resonated with me over time as I see it's truth in my own life, and in the lives of my clients. Coming to truly know ourselves, and then taking affirmative action to make desired changes are core elements in reaching a healthy emotional state. We start this process by owning and working with all that is within us. We move from the stagnation found in complacency, denial, and shame to the dynamic challenges and rewards of self-discovery and commitment to personal growth.

As a Hispanic/Latina Mental Health Professional who is also a first-generation Mexican-American, I understand the importance of a person's need to get culturally informed emotional support. It is essential for me to understand where you come from and provide you with the best therapy care to achieve your goals because I believe it significantly improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and more. Additionally, my work in mental health has brought me to various environments where I've seen the impact of not having specialized support while struggling with diverse emotional needs.

It is often difficult to ask for help in the face of life's challenges. People attend therapy for a variety of reasons such as; trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression or a life altering event. Ultimately, we want to feel better and live more-productive lives. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor which takes place in a warm, open and non-judgmental environment. My role is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what motivates their behaviors and how they can bring about change.

As a young Latino therapist, I dive into my work fueled by an unwavering belief in people's power to choose change. My double Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic Mental Health Leadership, backed by my experience working with the forensic population, equips me to navigate diverse journeys with empathy and insight. Growing up in a troubled environment I gained a unique outlook on life and came to believe that your circumstances don't have to define you.
